We do more physical activity now than people did in the 70s and 80s and we are significantly fatter also. I doubt it's that.

On it's face it is harder for baristas to be blindfolded. It would literally be a worse coffee shop at blindfolded baristas than normal coffee.

If you dig in more into the techlash, you also see a lot of... biased behavior on the NYT. Other newspapers also have this demonstrated behavior too, but the NYT is the most well researched. It's not just FB article sentiment analysis

I'm trying to think where any of this is explicitly banned. You can do subscriptions with various tiers, various one time consumable purchases and various one time permanent purchases. And things like games make this a bit easier w

It does not in swift's case. You have to set the namespace/module/library manually with the set of files and they never really embraced public submodules that might've reduced this.

And developing a ton of IR leads to large binary sizes, but that is something you also see in C++ too with template specialization.

Hope it works out!

Nope it doesn't work that way for swift, stuff has to repeat on multiple cores per file within a single module, leading to being less compute efficient the more cores you add, unless you force everything into a single thread with WMO m

After my experience with swift and the bone headed decisions made in lower level design items of the language to make it more 'ergonomic' at the expense of compile speed and debug-ability, I worry about chris latner making the sam

Newbies get into loops by thinking the solution is simple when it's complex from their perspective and can go off rabit paths and waste time. Kind of like the opposite of overthinking a solution when the solution is simple. It's

And what prevents that when it becomes known there are n+1 metrics to game? And your doing this in a large organization, so it is statistically inevitable that people will want to game the metrics, bad actor or not?

So when you tell execs goodhart's law, they ask, ok what can we do about it when managing large organizations? Be it a 200 person department of a 30'000 person organization or even more?

No when you change jobs externally lol. Internal moves are pretty easy.

Yes for many years, and I have many other friends that do so too. Just recently left to work even harder at a small place and I got promoted past sr eng. The hardest part about FAANG is the fucking leetcode when you change jobs. IMO workin

It's also an order of magnitude larger in parameter count...

by novok 4y ago
Well you are comparing 165B and 1000B parameter models to 30B and 60B parameter models. That is about 3 to 33x larger, not an apples to apples comparison.

You can live a pretty chill life at most FAANGs too if you avoid the burnout high pressure projects and choose not to have the crazy commute by moving close to work? They pay you plenty enough if you are a single person to not have a bad c

It works pretty well for young age ranges, especially in the 'time limits' and other more objective controls. You have the bias of the average HNer who is into computers and was into them since they were children. There is also a

Waveform lighting sells flicker free LED lighting that they can't ship to california due to a lower power factor, and their 15W bulbs cost $29, so it's not a cheap component issue: https://www.waveformlighting.com/

It's an open algorithm, but it's not open data! (joking)

by novok 4y ago
A bunch of this is driven by power efficiency requirements, creating a flickering low quality mess. Like no-flicker LED lights usually have a worse power factor.

What I don't get is why not spin off vs. just close?

If this kind of abstract copyright regime of 'I had the idea first, and anyone who uses a derivative of my idea must pay me money!' is a very sillpery slope of anyone who makes art or music of any genre needing to pay a royalty to

Your looking at the wrong "elites". Look at who is preventing 30 story apartment buildings and then you'll know who actually runs the city.

That sounds like your generic is not extended release but an immediate release version, which sound like different medications overall. Maybe split the dose in half and take the second half 4 hours later which is what they usually do when

Anyone able to get llama.cpp into some sort chat-bot style mode via a script or similar? What do you need to wrap around it to get it to act that way? Right now it will just go on forever in response to prompts.

How much power does it take? I've realized with some services it's cheaper to use it than the electricity and hardware cost.
